Education AbroadWe encourage UCSB biology students to study abroadStudy abroad provides new academic insights, a broader understanding of other cultures, and the preparation to excel in the internationally competitive world. Many UCSB students spend a quarter or year abroad to benefit from new perspectives, approaches, and experiences in all subdisciplines of biology from biochemistry and molecular biology to ecology and environmental biology. From wildlife in South Africa to the Great Barrier Reef of Australia to rainforests in Costa Rica to biomedical and biochemical research programs in Sweden and the United Kingdom, EAP students are immersed in the study of the biological sciences around the globe. Special opportunities for field and laboratory study exist in many Education Abroad programs. Many of these programs fulfill requirements in the various biology majors at UCSB. Programs in tropical field biology, environmental biology and marine biology are particularly popular among UCSB majors. Be sure to discuss any plans to participate in an Education Abroad Program with the Academic Advisors in Biology far in advance so that you can obtain the maximum academic credit for your courses. Education abroad can be pursued through two different avenues, either directly through the University of California or through non-UC programs. The University of California Education Abroad Program, one of the largest and most diverse in the world, is tailored specifically to meet the needs of UC students and provides access to approved institutions and programs abroad. UC EAP advisors on each campus facilitate student participation and credit approval. |
